Eventful, to say the least...

So this weekend has been fairly eventful. Friday we had a Prac Week party for which I made Tweeties, big hit, and we watched some youtube videos. Then since we had a swing dancing night. Woodsey, who took swing dance classes for a year, lead it. There was also milkshakes, which, heads up if you ever go to Australia, are not what you would expect. They are pretty much blended flavored milk with a little ice cream. Then as I was showing Woodsey how to make real milkshakes, Regan was dancing and faceplanted on the tile floor. I was oblivious to this dire fact, since I was in the kitchen. So I came out all excited to give someone a milkshake and didn't understand why everyone had stopped dancing, until I went and sat down by some of the girls and they informed me of what had happened. Regan knocked his tooth out of place and skinned his face in two places, they took him to emergency but there was nothing they could do, so Regan pushed his tooth back into place, and so far so good??

Yesterday, a large group of us went into Sydney. We got to the train station just after 9am and found out that there were no trains leaving from MossVale. However, there was a bus. So after our 2 1/2 hour bus ride we got into Sydney and took a train to Circular Quay to catch a ferry to Manly. We had found out the day before that it was supposed to be +21, and deemed it beach weather. Well, that perhaps was an incorrect judgement. We got to the beach at around 1, and the sun was up for awhile, but once it  retreated behind the clouds, it was time to shop. There were a few markets open on the street for mothers day and I bought a really cool wallet made out of recycled newspaper. I was sold before I heard the story but here it is:

**The man making the wallets found out about a company in the states that sells "paper" wallets that are actually made of plastic, so he wrote them a letter about it but they never replied. So he decided to make real paper wallets and chose newspaper, since many artists and photographers are hired in the making of a paper, but their work is thrown away the next day. He gets new material everyday and the paper gets to live on, through something people use every day.

There were free samples in the market as well, which is always good! Shelby and I checked out all the expensive surfer stores, and didn 't buy anything. Then we met up with everyone back at McDonalds, to catch a ferry back to the Quay and then to Luna Park for some rollercoaster rides! Not the best amusement park I've been to but it was good nonetheless. We were there for a couple hours before heading back to try and make curfew, which because of a bus mix-up we were a half hour late for. There may be trouble tomorrow, but we'll come to that later :)
